Laptop Keyboard Cleaning Guide
Over time, keyboards tend to accumulate dust, grease, and other debris from our fingers. This makes them a great place for germs to hang out, and can ultimately lead to sticky or otherwise malfunctioning keys. This guide will show you how to clean your laptop keyboard.
Example photos are taken with a MacBook Pro keyboard, but these techniques apply to just about any laptop keyboard.
If you have an Apple laptop with a “butterfly” keyboard (as on any 2015+ MacBook or 2016+ MacBook Pro), we don't recommend attempting to remove keys from your keyboard. The butterfly mechanism and the extra-thin key caps are particularly fragile and difficult to remove intact. If you have keyboard problems with one of these laptops, you may qualify for the Keyboard Service Program.
This guide begins with routine maintenance cleaning steps, and progresses to deep cleaning techniques. Feel free to stop wherever you feel satisfied. Or, if you’re here for a specific problem, you can skip straight to it:
-
-
Run compressed air back and forth across the keyboard.
-
If you can, hold or rest your laptop upside-down (so the keyboard is facing the ground) while you perform this step so that the debris will fall down away from the laptop.
